The Midwifery Accelerator: Expanding health care for women and newborns

Investing in midwives is a cost-effective and sustainable strategy to improve maternal and newborn health and well-being and reduce mortality. There is ample evidence to show that care provided by midwives is women centric, significantly advances maternal and newborn health outcomes, strengthens health systems, and helps build future healthier generations.

The Midwifery Accelerator: Expanding Quality Care for Women and Newborns —developed in consultation with governments, global experts, UN agencies, civil society, and providers—calls on governments, funders and other stakeholders to invest in midwifery care to save and transform the lives of women and their newborns around the world.

Levels and trends in child mortality, 2024

Since 2000, the global under-five mortality rate has declined by 528 per cent, reflecting an immense collective effort by governments, donors and communities. This progress represents millions of lives saved – children who have had the chance to grow, learn and contribute to their communities and society as a whole.

Nevertheless, the most recent estimates on under-five mortality leave little doubt that the journey to ending all preventable child deaths is far from over. In 2023 alone, 4.8 (4.5– 5.3)9 million children died before reaching their fifth birthday, mostly from preventable causes.

This report by the United Nations Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation provides the latest data and trends on child mortality. It calls on governement, donors and partners for greater political will to end preventable child mortality.
